[English] Why „Asphaltschneider“?

The English word for that is „asphalt cutter“. We often used to call small rims on a car „asphalt cutter“, because we were „afraid“, they could cut the street while driving in front of us. 😉 We often used the phrase for the rims of VW Polo, Vauxhall Corsa or the good old Trabant.
